Brrr! It's been really cold here in Michigan! Under 10 degrees the last few days.
We've been staying in the house most of the time.
Ellie Mae had her baby on Tuesday. A doeling, white like her papa with tan highlights. Very sweet. It was really cold that day and her ears got frostbit but there is still good circulation so they should be fine.
All three of Holly's bucks are sold, they'll be leaving on Satureday and we sold Ellie Mae with her little girl. Not sure when they'll be leaving yet.
We moved Hattie's babies down to the barn today, they were so excited to have so much room to run around in! They don't seem to mind the cold much.
I was going to ride Bannie today, but it was too cold to stay outside long so I let him have another lazy day.
Smoke cut her lip on something. Levi noticed it first and told me about it. I checked it when I went out about 2 o'clock to feed the babies. It's dry and already healing fine. That girl has a bit of an attitude! She doesn't have great ground manners. Once it warms up a little, I'll round pen her. That should help. It worked wonders with Bannie. I think I'm starting to enjoy ground work more than riding! It sure is fun when you can control a horse with just a movement of your head or shoulders.
Well, it's almost supper time. Hope eveyone is keeping warm!
